it's a great set I desired a lot, but mainly because it was Lego and not a
sweater, a tie or other stuff people as old as me are expected to receive

Back to kids, my 9 and 7 son and daughter find absolutely not strange to say
"That's my father's Lego" to their friends, who sometimes show a surprised
or amused face but most of the times don't.
